[AccessD] Using the pipe character in strings

Long ago (in a galaxy far far away) I remember looking at the open source
libs from Microsoft.  They used the pipe symbol | to insert information into
a string.  Does anyone know how they accomplished this feat?  In short, I
need to have a string of text with dates inserted in various places.  "Blah
blah blah Date blah blah Date" etc.  Of course, being the "reusable code"
kinda guy I am, I want to do it with a pair of tables with the main text
going in the parent and the dates (or pointers to controls) going into the
child.  Pull out the parent text string, start replacing the | with child
records (dates, or contents of controls on forms).

Has anyone done this kind of thing?
